The National Association of Consumer Finance Brokers has released the schedule for the Commercial Finance Expo taking place at the NEC in Birmingham on 15 June.
Issues being raised include whether there remains a place for traditional style lenders and where the next group of brokers and funders are coming from.
What the future holds for commercial finance will also be on the agenda: it may involve an expansion into the property lending space for the alternative finance industry, challenger banks might begin acquiring a branch network, or they may decide to expand in a different way and leave the traditional lending and banking to those with the experience of the market.
